Faelan Shiva
Sacred Dance: Catharsis and Rebirth

We will meditate, journal, move, dance, use our voices and our bodies to name, witness, and release all of the difficult emotions in our hearts and minds. Then we will call in the medicine, the future we wish to see, and reclaim our power to bring it forward.

This is dance magic. Dance ritual. Dance medicine.

Open to all body types and movement experience. Bring water and comfortable clothes you can move in.

Witch dolls and clay bodies: Figure magic from ancient to modern

Figure magic, also sometimes called poppet, image, or effigy magic, is a form of sympathetic magic found in many folk cultures and with a well documented history stretching to ancient times. This class will look at the lineage and evolution of this practice from ancient Egyptian pharaonic magic, through Iron Age Greco-Roman, Celtic and Germanic practices, and into the poppets of the Early Modern witch trials. We’ll also talk about how poppet magic can be part of your practice today, for justice, protection, blessing, and many other uses.

T. Thorn Coyle
Magic, Mutual Aid, and Community Support

Mutual Aid is about cooperation and reciprocity. It is not charity or noblesse oblige. Mutual Aid is about mutual benefit. What helps you, helps me, and vice versa. We are all in this together.

Mutual Aid is about skill and resource sharing. It means making space for the most vulnerable among us.

Mutual Aid is also a form of magic. It changes our thinking toward community consciousness. It shifts how and where we prioritize energy and effort. Mutual Aid helps to focus our will on what matters most.

Come join this workshop and discussion forum on Mutual Aid. And yes, we’ll do some magic, too.

Espie Romans AKA Boma
Coyote & the Rose: A Wild Path to Sovereignty

Join me for a mythic journey into the heart of Coyote and the sacred Rose. In this session, we’ll explore Coyote’s transformative cackle as a force of liberation, humor, and disruption, unlocking deeper layers of sovereignty. Alongside, the Rose Codes will guide you through the ancient practices of remembrance, sensual power, and self-devotion. Through story, ritual, and vocal activation, we’ll embody the sacred dance of chaos and grace—awakening the wild wisdom that lies within. You’ll leave with tools to reclaim your sacred voice, embodied truth, and a deeper connection to your own path of sovereignty.

About Boma:
I’m Espie, a Wolf Priestess, wild witch, and keeper of animal medicine. I weave ancestral magic, spirit work, and primal ritual to guide others home to their sacred wild. Through Sacred Wolf Healing, I walk the liminal with laughter and reverence, where howl meets heart and the old ways rise again in fierce, living rhythm.

Gretchen Helms
Guardians and Focii: Build Your Own!

In difficult times we have different needs; a need for self protection or perhaps a need for binding opposition. This workshop will teach you how to build a corn dolly which you can use for binding/hexing OR which you can build as a protective kitchen witch! Protective herb bundles are provided; bring small photos or small personal items for binding/hexing.

Gretch felt the callings of the nature spirits at a very young age, but then needed to survive Catholic school and didn’t fully realize that she was, in fact, a witch until shortly before the pandemic started.  She’s spent over thirty years in the tech industry and now creates her own jewelry, incense, and weaving.  She has several feral black cats that she tends to as well as the local tribe of crows and a beehive.  She adores tea and online gaming, and can’t stop making stuff for fear she might explode.

Gretchen is a solo witch who delights in creating things....from incense to jewelry and magickal tools. From the age of eight she has felt called to the trees and the wildlife; with Scottish blood she is particularly drawn to Druid ways and foggy damp environs.

Gretchen will also be vending at Hexenfest.

Patrick Graeme
Branches in the Stars, Roots in the Earth- Knowing our place in the Cosmos.

This evening presentation will be a bit of shape shifting into a tree, a bit of star lore and recognition, and a bit of guided visualization. We'll start with a simple meditation of becoming a tree- breathing with it's cycles. After being rooted into place with our branches caressing the heavens, I'll do a bit of laser-guided star and constellation observations. While I have some star lore to share, this will also be largely about learning to recognize the heavenly bodies and understand how they move. There might be some poetry too. Then we'll close out with a guided visualization both above and below.

About Patrick:
Patrick Graeme is a wanderer on many paths of magic, ecology, healing, and warriorship. During his formative years, Patrick learned to recognize most of the Northern constellations, and it has been paradoxically a very grounding part of his spiritual practice. Through the years he has developed a meditative practice that is based in this awareness. Professionally, Patrick is an ecologist, currently working to restore oaks and bring back Good Fire, as well as delving into woodworking.
